Systems and methods for tracking device IDs for virtualized applications

A method of tracking device IDs for virtualized applications includes receiving, at a proxy server, a network message originating from an emulated application, inspecting the network message to determine if a device ID is set for the network message, obtaining an originating device ID corresponding to the device ID in the network message, replacing the device ID in the network message with the originating device ID, and transmitting the network message to a specified destination server. Alternatively, the method may include intercepting the network message at a network message inspector. Alternatively, the method may include specifying the originating device ID by way of an application programming interface (API).
